Snapchat still scores over Instagram in US

San Francisco: Even as Instagram is breaking all records in terms of user growth, Snapchat still has a bigger share of new users in the US but the advantage may not remain for long, a report said on Wednesday.

According to US-based marketing analytics company Jumpshot, 52 per cent of new US users signed up for Snapchat, compared to 48 per cent for Instagram in August.

“The share represents a decline in Snapchat’s new enrollment dominance in the US,” ReCode quoted Jumpshot as saying.
